Configuring file servers

The File Server subsystem allows access to the Alfresco Content Services data stores
through the SMB/CIFS and FTP protocols. This allows you to browse to the repository using
Windows Explorer or by creating a Network Place.

Note: We recommend that you implement an allowed authentication mechanism
relative to the file server you are using. For more information on the different types of
authentication subsystems and their use, see Authentication subsystem types.

As with other Alfresco Content Services subsystems, the
File Server subsystem exposes all of its configuration options as properties that can be
controlled through a JMX interface or the global properties file.

Enabling file serversAlfresco Content Services supports access using the CIFS and FTP protocols. Use File Servers in the Admin Console to enable, configure, and disable these services.

Configuring SMB/CIFS server
The server includes Java socket-based implementations of the SMB/CIFS protocol that can be used on any platform.
